Say we trade back from 29 to 39-47 and we pick up an extra fourth. Say when we enter the picks 39-47 and are offered a first rounder of 2016  for that pick. Do you take the next year first rounder  and then draft the rest of the way with a late second and so on?

Wouldn't happen. Why wouldn't the team just trade there 16' 1st for #29? No logic behind this.

Nobody is going to give you their 2015 first for your 2016 first.

Remember how we acquired Tony Ugoh? The Colts had to trade their following year's 1st to get pick 42 in that draft.

read it closer i'm saying we trade to early second and then trade that second for a first if offered

I am aware you what you're saying. Read what I said closer. Why wouldn't a team just trade their 16' 1st for #29 instead of waiting until the 2nd round.

I would rather have a 16' 1st rounder then a pick 39-42 and a 4th. Especially if it's coming from a lower tier team who could end up a top 15 pick.

I believe no team would do that that's why

Unless you're sure you're trading for a top 10 pick in 2016 then it's a bad deal. You'll have nothing to show for a full year and you lose a year in which you could have developed your 2015 pick. Generally, if you want to trade a future pick for a current year's pick it has to be a full round earlier (Ex. a mid 5th rounder in 2016 for a mid 6th in 2015).

But, I agree that a 4th isn't enough to drop back 10 spots that early. It's certainly not enough to drop back 18 spots (29 to 47).

You should get a #3 for the trading that far out of the 1st -- especially if it's 42-47.  I'd still say you need to get a #3 for 39-41, but you might to give them a little benefit lower in the draft (like swapping the Colts #5 for the other teams #6).

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By rockywoj · Posted

      Oh contrare, I’d say it says more about Shane Steichen’s skill set as a coach.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By rockywoj · Posted

      Excerpt from an article at NFL.com …     ”… One player the Colts can lean on while Richardson gets his sea legs: running back Jonathan Taylor. After last year's hold-in and injury issues, the star running back looks back to his old self. JT bursts through the line like a Mustang on fire, leaving linebackers in his wake. On Sunday, Taylor totaled 12 carries for 103 yards and +55 rushing yards over expected, his most RYOE in a game since Week 15 of 2021. He also forced five missed tackles across 14 touches.    Shane Steichen's decision to bench the star back during the entire fourth quarter because the Colts were in pass mode belies credibility. Even if Taylor isn't a prolific pass catcher out of the backfield, sitting your best offensive weapon for an entire quarter is folly -- hopefully one Steichen doesn't repeat. If defenses are going to sit back to slow Richardson's deep attack, Taylor should gobble up chunk gains.    At this point, Taylor is the most consistent thing going for Indy. The 25-year-old back owns a game-changing gear and can shoulder a massive load. His presence and production should help settle Richardson down during the roller-coaster dips. Taylor hasn't looked fully healthy in a couple of years. He did this past Sunday. The Colts need to ride that stallion.”     The above referenced article kind of echoes my feelings on the matter.

      Richardson Green Bay Dropbacks

      Exactly I am confused with that comment by Shane unless that one drop deserved him to be benched. Again coaches know what's the best.

      I'm not sure why the team thinks JT can't be effective in the passing game.

      I know that you use the word only once, and I'm sure that you know what it means. But find one example of me contradicting myself please?
